A Birthday Long Weekend

Well, it’s not every day (or indeed every year) that one turns thirty. This past week has been absolutely packed with activity and I apologise in advance for lumping all these events together into one post!

Then on the big day itself, a dinner at HK Diner with our favourite crispy noodles. The Chinese believe that you’ve got to eat noodles on your birthday as their length represents longevity. I reckon the effects were probably negated by the fact that they were crispy noodles but hey, it’s one of the few superstitions to which I still subscribe! There was also a plateful of seemingly greaseless salt and chilli fried squid.

There was also a great lunch yesterday but that’s for the next post. Oof, July is turning out to be extremely busy!

Hey I love the excuse to eat crispy noodles because it’s your birthday! I love crispy noodles and the saucy topping that get soaked up bythe noodles! Shame my hubbs doesn’t!
Happy Birthday! Wish you hadn’t mentioned your age – you reminded I passed that milestone a few years back and am on the slippery slope to the next one! Yikes!
